Curious if this will have an impact on "liquid' domain names (3 letter .com domains). They spiked a few years back as a way to get money out of China, but slowed recently due to bitcoin being a better option.

Would be interesting to see if that activity picks back up.



What's the going prize on 3L.com's right now? Say, a bad combination (Q, X, Y, V, etc.)?

Last time I exited this market (2008), lowest tier 3L.coms were selling for $3k


Guiseppe has the latest "floor" prices in his newsletter - http://ggrg.com/numeric-domains-2-0-the-definitive-guide/

From what I remember, the 3Ls were somewhere around 10-17k? Depending on premium v non-premium & specifically domains that are attractive to Chinese.


I have a 4 letter domain that sounds like a common word. What should I sell for?


You're gonna have to share way more info than that...

How does this work?


There's a limited quantity of some types of domains (2 & 3 letter domains). They typically have a "trading floor" where they can switch hands between investors for a minimum amount - so they're referred to as "Liquid."

Not always the case, and sometimes the floor drops - but it was a good market for quite a while - especially for chinese investors that wanted to diversify their holdings.
